Floaters and flashes: the signs of acute posterior vitreous detachment
GM, 37, September, 2007

lights. These visual experiences are frightening for the patient, and in an eye examination
the physical findings are usually few and often subtle. It is a condition that frequently
occurs in the older population. Drs Chintan Sanghvi, Sarita Bhat and Jason Raw discuss its
pathophysiology and management.
